Backpack rap's master spreads atmospheric hip-hop in VEGA
It's nothing less than living hip-hop heritage when one of the most respected names in underground hip-hop takes over Lille VEGA on April 30th.
Atmosphere represents an uncompromising hip-hop tradition where craftsmanship, storytelling and authenticity come first. And so, under other circumstances, they would probably be expected to play to a larger audience. But for Slug and Ant, who together make up Atmosphere, it's important to get back to the club roots and the smaller venues.
Therefore, the concert in Lille VEGA is a unique opportunity to flow along to hits like “Sunshine” and “The Loser Wins” and experience the duo's music as it was intended: up close and honest.
The last time Atmosphere visited Denmark, GAFFA's reviewer particularly highlighted the duo's ability to develop their sound and expression over time - without letting go of their roots:
“True to the ancestors of hip-hop, it quickly became clear that Slug is not a rapper who needs any kind of backing vocals. At the age of 50, the rapper pronounced every single word (...), which can hardly be said about most rappers from the younger generation. The duo was accompanied by an additional DJ, who, among other things, spiced up the songs with scratches, further reinforcing the hip-hop roots.”
For almost thirty years, the duo has made themselves specialists in “backpack rap”, where life stories are in focus.
With honesty, humility and vulnerability, Slug delivers masterful storytelling, always accompanied by Ant's deep hip hop beats.
The groundbreaking producer's signature beats give the lyrics a pulse, and together Atmosphere has created an addition to the hip-hop legacy where you can both celebrate sunny Sundays and indulge in deep self-reflection.
And with their masterful and captivating stories, Slug and Ant have proven that they belong at the top of the backpack rap cake.
